I notice, that: 14757395255531667520 = 0b1100110011001100110011001100110000000000000000000000000001000000 14757395255531667488 = 0b1100110011001100110011001100110000000000000000000000000000100000 Also google returns a lot of results with outputs with the same values. So upper bits are seems to be uninitialized. May be your clinfo reads CL_DEVICE_ADDRES_BITS into size_t value? (While should read into cl_uint, according to documentation - https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenCL/sdk/1.0/docs/man/xhtml/clGetDeviceInfo.html) Full output: Number of platforms: 2 Platform Profile:

Last modified: 9 Jan 2017, 19:29:12 UTC Welcome to the BOINC forums Most of these questions need to be raised with nVidia. nVidia's support for OpenCL is at best average. It looks like you are running an old version see http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk ID: 75161 ·

If you are referring to the clinfo.exe downloadable from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/clinfo.zip it is not made by BOINC developers. I am not sure of its origin but looking at the strings inside the file it probably comes from ATI Stream SDK samples. ID: 75164 ·

Check in %SYSTEMDRIVE%:\Windows\System32 as there may be a more up-to-date clinfo.exe in there, deposited by the Nvidia or Intel drivers. Or AMD, I'm sure it's an AMD file. Claggy ID: 75184 ·

Yes, for me it's deposited there by my AMD GPU drivers, but since the OP only has an Intel and Nvidia GPU, either drivers may have done the same thing. ID: 75186 ·
